A Tradition Unlike Any Other, the Masters Tournament is the only one of the PGA’s four major tournaments held at the same location every year. On the first full week in April every year the best golfers in the world descend upon Augusta National Golf Club for the biggest tournament in golf. As the biggest tournament in golf, Masters tickets are also the most popular tickets for any golf tournament.

The field for the Masters is the smallest of golf’s major tournaments. For the invitation only event, only 90-100 players make the field in Augusta every year. The prestige of the Masters is held up by its many different traditions during the tournament. The 11th, 12th and 13th holes at Augusta, known as Amen Corner, are the most famous group of holes on any golf course in the world.

The Masters was also the first officially recognized major in golf. It’s also unique in its playoff scenario if the tournament is tied after four rounds. The tied players play sudden death holes alternating the 18th and 10th holes until there is a winner. The sudden death playoff has decided the winner of the past two tournaments, Bubba Watson in 2012 and Adam Scott in 2013. Before that the last playoff was in 2009.

Awarding a green jacket to the tournament winner is perhaps the most recognizable tradition at the Masters. The winner of the tournament also receivers a gold medal and his name engraved on the silver Masters trophy. Other perks for the winner include automatic entry to the other three major tournaments for the next five years and lifetime entry to play in the Masters.

Masters tickets aren’t the most expensive of all the golf tournament, but they are the hardest to attain. Even Masters tickets for the practice rounds can be very difficult to attain. Applications for practice round Masters tickets are made a year in advance for most cases. The majority of Masters tickets are only available to members of a patrons list, which was opened in 1972 and closed 1978. The list was again opened in 2000, but was then closed again soon after. In 2012 and thereafter, Augusta announced a limited number of Masters tickets would be released to the general public for both the practice and competition rounds. Starting in 2008, children were also allowed to enter for free if they were accompanied by an adult with Masters tickets.

Masters tickets are also available for the Par 3 contest held on the Wednesday before the tournament stars. The Par 3 contest originated in 1960 is a more laid back competition open to any player in the field for that year’s tournament.

With the secondary market, Masters tickets are now easier to attain, but it has led the price to skyrocket because of limited availability. Since the Masters are the same weekend every year, it’s easy for fans with Masters tickets to plan for the trip to Augusta for one of the best experiences in professional golf.
